THE PAIRS.


This year Nevada has launched
out into the scheme OF holding
State Fair and several District Fairs,
all assisted by State aid, In this,
Nevada is but following the lead OF
other States, and she has already
demonstrated the wisdom Of this
plan.
! There is good deal of talk about
changing the location of the State
Fair to Carson. There is no reason
why this should be done. Our
District Fair is all we want. and all
we can handle. Instead of trying
to get the State Fair away from
Reno, let us make our District Fair
better than the Reno Fair, and get
the crowd.
For nine years the people of
Reno struggled hard with its State
Fair in the face of opposition, me-
elect and even ridicule. Reno made
q plncky fight for the State FAN
and won. She should enjoy the
fruits of her victory.
The main talk against the State
Fair arises from the mismanage-
ment of the present year. The out
rageous prices of hay, the display
of ignorance in the awards, and the
manifest unfairness of the racing
decisions, ought not to be made a
reason for attacking the State Fair.
The cause of the trouble was simply
q man trying to run a number of
things he knew nothing about. Mr..
Powning is simply inexperienced in
management of Fairs, but was anx-
ious to demonstrate that he could
do certain things better than any
body e,se. But then Powning is al
ways bobbing up in this way, and
always bobbing down again in a
state of collapse. He ought never
to have been allowed to act as Pres
ident of the State Fair and leopard
ize the future of SO important a
branch of our States prosperity.
He knows nothing of agriculture,
nothing of the points of horses and
cattle, nothing of turf rules, and
nothing of finance, yet he assayed
to rule all these departments. The
purchase of new Fair Grounds with
the money given by the State was
bad, for it will simply saddle debt
on the Association which will re-
qulre future legislative clemency to
liquidate. The bill by which the
money was appropriated expressly
states that a portion shall be used
for .'improving the grounds and
paying premiums" The grounds
have not been improved, and even
the simple matter OF providing suit
able drinking troughs for the stock
was neglected, and stock was
Obliged to drink out of mud holes.
All this caused a lot of kicking,
and the racing decisions SO incensed
several horsemen that they left the
track, vowing never to return.
All this, however will blow over
in twelve months, and with some
level-headed practical man at the
head of the Association lost ground
will soon be recovered. Powning
will resign the Presidency, and if
he does not, the Board of Directors
will see the necessity of a change,
and make the proper provision.
We are aware of the fact. that a
good deal of the truth spoken in
this article will be unpalatable to
certain parties. 1t is the truth all
the same and we hold that there is
nothing gained in covering up facts,
the existence of which everyone
recognizes. We should treat such
matters as we treat the sick, first
locate the trouble and then procede

The familiar face and form of our vene.

The familiar face and form Of our vene-
rable and highly esteemed townsnlan, Mr..
Jesse r. Smith, will no more be seen
upon the streets of Anderson, for "death
has called him from labor unto rest"
Last Friday afternoon, at half-past 4
o'clock, he peacefully passed away at his
home in this city, after an illness of about
five months. Mr.. Smith was 73 years of
age, and was one among the Oldest resi-
dents of Anderson. He was born about
six miles from the town, and when abou!
nineteen years of age came here to learn
the tailor's trade. From that time until
his death he has resided here, and, with
the exception of two or three years, was
continuously engaged as merchant tail
or. Mr.. Smith was perhaps as we'll
known as any man in Anderson County.
He was a man of some fine traits of char
acter, and of quiet and unostentatfous de-
meanor. He was no dissembler, but
man of positive opinions and resolute
will. AS friend he was loyal, as citi-
zen faithful to every obligation, and as
husband and father gentle and kind. He
had been since his youth consistent
member of the Baptist Church, and for
number of years was Deacon of the
Anderson Church. Mr.. Smith was twice
married, and his wife and two sons sur
vive him. The funeral services were
held last Saturday afternoon in the Bap-
tist Church, at o'clock, Rev. A. A. Mar
shall and Rev. J. S. Murray officiating.
A large concourse of friends and acquain-
tances were present. The remains were
inferred in the Baptist cemetery.

The unusually large number of

Shall the Iron Bridge be Rebuilt?
ANDERSON COUNTY, S. c.,
No-o,,1>or II 1907

November III, 1881.
Mr.. EDITOR: The Commissioners seem
to be waiting for some expression from
the people of Anderson County, and es-
pecially from Fork township, concerning
the rebuilding Of the iron bridge at Sloan's
Ferry on Seneca River. I have been
taxpayer in Anderson County for about
forty-five years; have been living in
Fork township, on the banks of Seneca
River, twenty-eight years, and have tray
eled the road by Earle's Bridge and
Sloan's Ferry time and again, i'll wet and
dry, and I take the ground that the road
by Sloan's Ferry to the City of Anderson
to be far superior to the Earle's Bridge
road in many respects. 1t is convenient
for nine-tenths of Fork township. The
road from Sloan's Ferry by Townville on
to Westminster is level, smoothe way,
without any hills of any note, and so is
the road from the Ferry to Anderson, eX-
cept the Byrum hills near town, and DO
not think the distance will far exceed one
mile farther than the Earle's Bridge route.
The great mistake, no doubt, was in the
height of the bridge; also in not placing
the butment timber substantially. For
my part, 1 do not see anything which has
come to light since the bridge was washed
down that would 60 against it being re-
built at the same place, and as soon as
possible, before the timber should be
damaged. I would say to the Commis-
sioners it is County misfortune, as we'll
as all other damaged bridges in the Coun-

not pay 10 cultivate it. He recommends
that such lands be sown in blackberries.

will grow on almost any kind Of land, and
